Properly Installed Spreader Mechanism
l
The spreader mechanism will be loose on the hex nuts, but will tighten when
the ring is tightened inside a pipe.

Look at the previous figure. Notice that the spreader mechanism fits snugly
against the inside of the ring. This is what the ring should look like when it’s
properly assembled.
Note:
When assembling the ring, check on the site report to see if silt is
present. If silt is present, this will affect the sensor placement on the ring.
Refer to 4-18 for more information on silt deposits.
